10. Isn’t this convenient for you to establish your harem?
Amidst the chaotic crowd, we successfully escaped this place of strife and returned to safety to plan our next steps.
From my actions this time, I could perhaps still convince myself with the excuse of “for the script,” but from the perspectives of the two big shots, Kefir and Nilu, my actions were clearly those of someone whose soul was snatched away by a glance from a fairy, even going so far as to risk exposing my identity to save her! To put it simply: here I was, a dark and villainous character, trying to play the role of a white knight rescuing a damsel in distress!
Fortunately, the relationship I had with the two big shots meant that I wouldn’t find myself in a deadlock of “You explain yourself!” “I won’t listen, I won’t listen!” “Why won’t you explain? Do you not love me anymore?” After the attacker struck, saving that elven girl was the best solution I could come up with in the limited time I had to think: the white-haired saint of the elven kingdom clearly held a significant position in the script, at least not one that an attacker could compare to. Given the chance, I certainly didn’t want anything to happen to an important character.
After that, there was nothing to worry about: [The attacker was captured].
According to the script, no troubles were approaching, which also provided us with the opportunity to prepare—finding suitable identities to fully integrate into this kingdom.
Compared to Kefir, who insisted on following the rules, Nilu had fewer reservations. Relying on the power of Jias, she quickly convinced the nearby elves that the three of us were regular guests here. If I hadn’t done my best to stop her, Nilu would have nearly chased the innkeeper away to take over herself.
Food and the currency of this era were all prepared, and under special circumstances, I wouldn’t blame Nilu for her decisive use of fairy magic to “command” others. But after that… the main event was just beginning.
At this moment, inside our lodging.
The two women, who indicated they would slightly alter their appearance to cooperate with my plan, knocked on the door to signal that I could open my eyes. When I did, they appeared before me in a completely new guise!
In short: maid outfits.
However, I couldn’t just glance at my wife’s maid outfit with indifference; I had to examine it closely and offer my thoughts! Otherwise, Kefir and Nilu wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of making me close my eyes and forbidding me to peek.
As my gaze fell upon them, after a brief moment of astonishment, I realized: the two of them weren’t just dressed like this for some “maid play.” After all, while this outfit on Kefir and Nilu was already cute enough to make my eyes follow their swaying skirts, the black-and-white color scheme deliberately emphasized the elven figures with short sleeves and skirts. It didn’t immediately lead me to think of it as something “worn at night.”
After all, in the past few days, I had seen genuine elven maids outside. If I had to point out a difference, it would be that the “elven maids” before me had skirts that could be casually touched beneath.
Before I could speak, Nilu had already taken the lead in introducing their new look, indicating that their sudden change of attire wasn’t just for me to praise their beauty and cuteness.
“This is the style of clothing that most maids in the city wear, as discovered by the fairies. According to the plan, since you have already determined your identity for staying in this ‘era,’ we naturally need to disguise ourselves accordingly, so as not to appear strange when we are with you.”
So, it seemed that Nilu had dragged Kefir along to buy a few maid outfits, transforming into maids themselves? If it were just Nilu, who had grown accustomed to considering herself my maid, changing into this outfit to continue serving me, it wouldn’t be too strange. But why had Kefir also joined in on this transformation?
The next moment, it was as if she could see right through my thoughts. After putting on this outfit, Kephiel, who still seemed a bit awkward, shot me a glare: “Of course it’s for you! Now we both look like your maids. Any other fairy girls will see you as a wealthy, single diamond bachelor, making it easier for you to encounter a wonderful fate, right?”
“Ahem…”
“Even in such a chaotic and dangerous scene, you can maintain your composure, gazing deeply into the eyes of a goddess-like fairy without a care in the world. This is clearly fate’s arrangement! How could I possibly interfere and ruin this celestial couple at such a moment? Isn’t that right, O·Qi·Li·De?”
Wife, that time was truly an accident! I was in such a rush to complete the script that I never imagined that fairy had been watching my every move from start to finish. As for the “deep gaze,” that was an even bigger misunderstanding. The reason that fairy kept staring at me so “affectionately” was simply because I had revealed my true self after saving her with Zelus, and she had seen everything.
Because even now, this script still contains such content: [Saint Izalis noticed the true self of O Qi Li De.]
This content has left me feeling both relieved and troubled since my escape. I’m grateful that only that saint knows my true identity in this kingdom filled with white-haired fairies. At least… she hasn’t told anyone else.
But what troubles me is this: Why hasn’t she said anything yet!? Doesn’t she care why there’s an “heretic” in the city? Or did that fairy choose to keep it a secret out of curiosity? If that’s the case…
As if confirming my suspicions about the script, a new line appeared just as Kephiel and Nilu, who had just finished showing off their maid outfits and were about to engage in some playful banter, suddenly stopped their quarrel.
Because…
“What should we do? Pretend we’re not here, or let Lady Jias command us, Mr. O Qi Li De?”
A strange fairy has come looking for us! This shouldn’t be possible: the three of us are complete outsiders in this “era.” So, the identity of this visitor can only be one possibility…
“Open the door and welcome her. Play your roles well, and don’t reveal any powers…”
[Izalis has sent someone to convey a request for an audience.]
That means… that fairy, the saint of this kingdom, has indeed chosen to investigate and found my presence, hoping to meet. This is probably just a choice made out of curiosity, after all, in this era, I’m not a “great villain,” and I haven’t encountered any death scripts.
In this way, it seems we’ve stumbled upon an unexpected opportunity…
For us, the chance to continue approaching the “main storyline” of the script has arrived.
